Evli keeps confidence in factor funds' future despite difficult take-off

Patient investors will benefit from systematic factor exposures despite mixed results in recent years caused by "crazy market" in the US, Evli Head of Systematic Funds Peter Lindahl tells AMWatch. The EUR 12.9bn asset manager recently followed several Nordic peers and launched a global multi-factor equity fund. 
"Nowadays you see a lot of style drifting where active funds said something five years ago but today have a totally different investment strategy. We strongly believe that factors will perform well against the market in the long term despite the development we have seen in the US in the past few years."" says Peter Lindahl, head of systematic funds at Evli. | Photo: PR / Evli
